HelpDesk

HelpDesk.com is the ticketing capability inside Text.com, the customer service platform. Support teams use it to manage tickets from email, live chat, Messenger, and SMS in one queue, with automation and AI handling the repetitive work. Teams receive customer messages across channels, assign them to the right agent or team, track progress against SLAs, and close cases inside a shared inbox. A conversation that starts on Messenger and continues over email stays a single thread, so agents work from full context rather than fragmented records.

Missive

Are you double sending emails? Not knowing who's responding to what, or whether they've responded at all? Losing the thread when the person who owns it is out? What if your business could manage all your email accounts, including its shared inboxes like support@, sales@, info@, and accounting@, along with SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram—all in one place? Missive is inbox collaboration for teams that run on email. Every conversation gets an owner, so nobody replies twice and nothing sits unread for a week.
